Roasted Squash and Mexican Black Bean Salad #SundaySupper

By 86 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I’m back with #SundaySupper and today’s mission is to make a sweet and savory recipe for all kinds of winter squash.  Oh boy, oh boy!  I LOVE squash!  I am excited for today’s recipes.  I can eat squash everyday!  It can be butternut, acorn, delicata and pumpkin.  It’s so good!!  I thought of a bazillion squash recipes but I had to go with one that I make all of the time, and I haven’t shared it with you and it contains one of my favorite ingredients, black beans!
Roasted Squash and Mexican Black Bean Salad
This is my Roasted Squash and Mexican Black Bean Salad. It’s healthy, easy to whip together and is most awesome to eat the day you make it or even the next day!! It’s made with roasted delicata squash, black beans, corn, jicama, tomato and avocado all sitting on a bed of romaine lettuce and it’s only flavored with freshly squeezed lime juice.

The salad is light, full of flavor and just simply amazing! I made this for my dinner and made extra to take to lunch the next day. I packaged it up in a mason jar and it was just as fresh the next day. I squirted some lime juice over the top to keep the avocado and jicama fresh and not soggy. I’m really impressed that it didn’t turn soggy.

The key to keeping it fresh is to package the lettuce separately and to layer it with the beans and corn on the bottom, then jicama, tomato and avocado. Squirt with that lime and you are all good. I didn’t feel the need to add dressing to this salad because of all the different flavors. You have the sweetness from the roasted delicata squash, and savory from the roasted corn and black beans. Jicama adds a nice crunch and the avocado makes it creamy. A quick little key-note;  I used frozen roasted corn from Trader Joe’s. I just heated it up in the microwave with a pinch of water and it turned out perfect. I do not have patience to wait for it thaw out.

    That IS a lot of fiber. Is it coming from the squash? I love delicata squash and think it way underused in kitchens! I’m so glad you chose that squash to add to this wonderful salad. And thanks for the mason jar idea!
